It's official! Welcome Kaitlyn to the Husky family.

 

[Bone Dog]

Love it! And including "the best version of herself both on and off the court" is an important part of the picture, and one I'm sure she picked up from Carla. Building character is an important part of Geno and CD's vision for the program.

 

[cuzinvinny]

WELCOME! Thanks for joining UCONN!

 

[DemonDeac22]

Welcome, Kaitlyn!

Now we just need to pray that 2024-2025 is The Year of the Healthy Huskies!

 

[Kaizen]

She is so humble and sincere. Welcome Kaitlyn to be a UConn husky.
Look the ball in her finger ~~~

 

[Charliebball]

She's a great addition to the team...........I bet we'll hear plenty of stories about her working with the younger players.......it certainly relieves any concerns about new injuries that might hit the back court next season.....

 

[ABCDFE]

Love this addition. Gives Geno a very savvy veteran on the floor and very competitive dawg, especially rising to the occasion vs ranked teams.

Has Jana given up her number to Kaitlyn?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but has Sarah Strong sent in her signed LOI? I don't recall seeing any announcement like this?

 

[Blakeon18]

Yes...Sarah has signed her LOI...did so on April 6.

Has Jana given up her number to Kaitlyn?

I was surprised at the picture, but I'm guessing that "24" merely reflects the year rather than her actual uniform number. (??)

Has Jana given up her number to Kaitlyn?

Wondering the same thing. #20 is available.

Speaking of jersey #s, I'm guessing Kaitlyn (20), Mo (13), Allie (10), Sarah (21)

 

[Boreifs]

This young woman was an honorable mention all-American. I can’t imagine a scenario where she isn’t starting.

Has Jana given up her number to Kaitlyn?

She isn't wearing #24, she was just posing with it....

 

[tchalla1]

Wondering the same thing. #20 is available.

Speaking of jersey #s, I'm guessing Kaitlyn (20), Mo (13), Allie (10), Sarah (21)

So is #42... but I'm hoping they're saving that for a big..

The best change in our lineup with Kaitlyn coming next season, IMO, will be allowing Ms. Buckets to spend more time as a shooting guard which might allow her to continue the more "selfish" approach that Geno has been imploring her to take on and which was evident in her leading the team to the Final Four.

As great as many of the other scorers on the team may well be, Paige is simply unique in her skill set and we need to see her continue to be more and more aggressive in my opinion.

 

[EricLA]

Yet another high quality character kid joining the program, even if only for 1 year. Really excited for her experience, maturity, and PG depth. Totally different style from KK, but having 2 really good PG's will be great for playing 40 minutes of high quality basketball each and every game.

Really looking forward to seeing her suit up and play!!

Thank you! I can't believe I missed that.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Would they let someone have #10, knowing that Sue will make the Naismith HOF soon?

 

[Huskie837]

Welcome aboard!! Great addition!

 

[cgshuskie]

A great addition to Husky world. Will teach KK discipline at the point. Much needed!!!! A Uconn home run!

You mean with Paige, Azzi, Jana and Sara come March? Depends on what Coach G would like to emphasize: balance between defense and offense or more offense and react to the flow for defensive adjustments. KK and Aubrey strengthens the defense for whatever coverage Coach G wants.......so, if balance, then one of them could start. Then again, maybe Ms. Chen is good at defense as well - we just haven't seen it.

We shall see.
